The on going saga of Lionel Messi for a move away from Camp Nou Barcelona had a political touch to it when the Argentine President Alberto Fernandez sent a message to the Barcelona superstar to end his career in Argentina playing for Newell’s Old Boys a club seen as possible destination by Messi himself and that story was further fueled with the comments by the President.
Messi sent shock waves across the world of football when he announced he wants a move away from Barcelona and clubs lined up for his signature and Newell’s too could be on Messi’s mind if he wish to continue to quit playing at the top level of the game, The President of Argentina made his comments via C5N amid the chaos of Messi’s next move.
“You are in our hearts and we have never seen you play in our country, give us the pleasure of ending your career with Newell’s Old Boys, your club.”
“The great merit of Maradona is that he played alone against the world,” Fernandez said. “I’ve never seen a player like Maradona. I admire him deeply – more than Messi, to be honest, because he comes from the Argentinos’ youth. He was a kind of gladiator, with incredible strength.”
Mean while a move to England to Man City or other possible move would be tough negotiating prospect for the player as La Liga has backed Barcelona that if Messi wishes to move away from the club the Transfer fee of 700 million euros has to be meet by the party.
The conflict could rise and legal action would come into play if Messi wants to force his move away from Barcelona, The player reportedly wants to meet the Barcelona Board for a agreement for his move but the Board would only hear him if he signs a new contract, The Romance between Barcelona and Messi seems to have reach its turmoil and the relationship is getting sour every passing day.
